Mixed Floral/Foliage bush
1 Yard Burlap ribbon (Wired) Cream – 1,5″
Strip Emelia ribbon – Pink 2.5”
Elastic wristlet
First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire. Then, fold it in half and insert it into the Bowdabra. You will have a loop on one side and two loose wires on the other side. This will serve as your slipknot. Tuck the ends under to stay out of the way while you are making your corsage.
Next, lay in the greenery alternating each side. Then, lay in the flowers on one side and roses on the other side.
Now, lay in the short tails from wired burlap ribbon for a rustic feel. Next, place the longer piece of burlap ribbon in the Bowdabra. Twist and fold to create loops back and forth.
Finally, take some pink Emilia ribbon and scrunch in from the top. This will match the bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquet, and pew bow from the wedding DIY videos.
Now, scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand while pushing down with your fingers. Then, insert the loose wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Then, remove the bow from the Bowdabra, separate the ends, turn to the back, and tie a knot. Tie a double knot for extra security.
To finish, thread the bow wire through the top of the wristlet and then up and through the wristlet three pearls over and tie it in a knot. Clip the excess wire. Shape out the bow and flowers.
You have a gorgeous rustic corsage that is perfect for a wedding or prom.
